Shadow Falls

Dec 2023 - Present • 2 yrs 5 mos

Lead dev and founder of Shadow Falls, a horror game that launched on Steam Early Access in May 2025. It's a story about a grieving mother exploring a forest park, farmhouse and séance-themed environments — NPC entities, atmosphere, the works. Everything was built in UE5.6. I covered gameplay systems, AI, level design support and pretty much everything else since I am a solo dev on this project. It's been an ongoing passion project for me.

Freelance (Demos & Vertical Slices)

Jan 2023 - Present • 3 yrs 4 mos

I've worked with a range of clients and creators over the years on demos, vertical slices and full builds. Genres have included open-world survival, horror, job simulators, story-driven and more. Had the chance to collaborate with people like Bill Roper and various YouTube creators on prototype and pitch builds. I covered things like AI (NPC's), inventory and quest systems, vehicle mechanics, character pipelines and cinematic work. Some of these have been short turnaround pitches, others longer embedded roles.

Technical 3D Artist, Character Artist & Gameplay Programmer

Sep 2021 - Present • 4 yrs 8 mos

Worked with IMD Interactive on their Bible game The Anointed: David Saves Keilah, which is free to play on Steam. My main focus was the lead character David — I handled his 3D modelling, rigging, animation and got him working in-engine. Also did technical art and gameplay programming work throughout the project. It's a third-person action adventure set across ancient biblical locations with combat, stealth and exploration. IMD are a non-profit publisher with a mission to make Bible-based games accessible to everyone.
